In the rush to make their opinions known, many social media users have spread dubious claims, hurting their efforts to help bring peace to the Middle East.

Real life dystopia has become so boring, people not directly involved intensify drama online to bring the conflict into their online lives.

An opinion piece I find quite fitting for Lemmy as well. I wonder how a “boring” just fact based rational social media would look like?

    How is shitting on a genocidal autocratic apartheid regime “virtue signalling”?

      It’s “virtue signalling” if you are a white supremacist that can’t stand people learning the truth about the west’s favorite little genocidal kapo state… they know how that eventually worked out for their previous favorite, Apartheid-South Africa.

        Unfortunately organizing protest and petitioning our government is all we can do without sacrificing our own lives.

      The problem is more that they side with the genociders. Hamas is fucking evil. 1400 dead.

      I think abortion lovers like them because they beheaded so many babies, idk, because nothing else makes sense. Maybe they just hate lgbtq people and want them executed? Or they want to oppress women?

      In any case, siding with Hamas is either ignorant or straight up evil.
